George and Kath
Before we got married, Kath and I lived/used to live in Boston.
Then in 1996 we moved to New York, where we had/used to have a small apartment.
Back then more often than not we would stay/used to stay/stayed at home in the evening because we didn’t have/didn’t use to have much money.
Ted says that I’m always going on/I always go on about how poor we were/ used to be back then, but it’s true.
For example, every so often we’d buy/ we bought/ we used to buy Ted a burger as a treat, but Kath and I would never eat out/ never ate out/ never used to eat out.

George and Kath
But now that we have more money we go out/we’ll go out to restaurants quite a lot.
In fact, most weeks we’ll eat out/we eat out at least twice.
Most of the time we go/we’ll go to local restaurants, but once in a while we’ll drive/we drive up to Boston and go to one of our favorite restaurants there.
I really love Boston and every now and again I think about moving back there, but Kath always tells me/is always telling me that’s unrealistic.

Changes Then and Now
When I was 21, I used to sleep more. I’d sleep 10 hours a day. Now, I’m lucky if I get 8 hours of sleep a night.
I used to do a lot of sport when I was in college. Now, I do yoga once a week, that’s it.
I’d study a lot more when I was 21 than I do now. Now, I work much more, but I try to study on the metro when I go to work in the morning.
